WCA Rusty Posted January 12, 2012 Report Posted January 12, 2012 I have not played with that battery but can say im the astro van i have 2 kinetik 16volt batteries per 5.0 and a 400 amp mechman. The 5.0s are at.7 each and my voltage drops to low 15s when hammering on it Quote DC AUDIO Phone Number 1(855)SPL-DBZZ Built by Competitors, for Competitors.
03TahoeXXX Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Posted January 12, 2012 Thank u sir on the quick reply. taxs are around the corner and want to get the max power out my 5k before i buy one more. i was thinking i would need 2 or 3 batts myself. Quote
redlineaudio Posted January 12, 2012 Report Posted January 12, 2012 I will have 3 XSPower batts per 5.0, but they will be running @ .35 when I finally get this thing done here soon.....240a Mechman here Quote '94 Ford Ranger Ext.

03TahoeXXX Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Posted January 12, 2012 Redline what ohm u running now? whats ur voltage like? Quote
redlineaudio Posted January 12, 2012 Report Posted January 12, 2012 right now, it's in pieces.....gonna try n rebuild box for 3 18's, if the box fits--will recone my XL's to 18's. Last year, I ran 2 12v "cat" batteries and stock alternator and did a best of 157.5. First burp without changing a thing but 16v batts...no alt yet and did 158.9. The amps are/were at .7 strapped so each will see .35 before box rise...hope that helps answer your ?? Quote '94 Ford Ranger Ext. Cab (3) DC XL 15's, check that (3) 18's this year!

03TahoeXXX Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Posted January 12, 2012 Aww my bad. it sounded like you was runing them now then changing ohm load. think rusty awnsered my ? pretty good. ima start with getting 2 batts and see how that works out. Quote
corona_jeff Posted January 12, 2012 Report Posted January 12, 2012 2 or 3 would be ideal. Can never have too much juice Quote
CJ18 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Posted January 12, 2012 I am going to recommend 5 1600s. When I first installed my 7.5k, I had 5 d1400s and one singer 350. I had drop from 16.8 to 15.1 full tilt. Running 16v, you should be looking at similar power as I was with the 7.5. Quote
CJ18 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Posted January 12, 2012 Also when you are charging at 17.5v with the 350a unit, you will get close to 400a from it Quote
